Take a moment for yourself
Nothing better than a cocooning weekend to enjoy together.
At this time of year, you will love to book a treatment in one of the Balneo & Thalasso establishments.
A nice moment of relaxation awaits you
Walk on the beaches
Take a breath of fresh air! In winter, the beaches of Bassin offer a whole new atmosphere.
The azure blue of summer is replaced by purple colors, especially at the end of the day.
Take advantage of this walk in the fresh air to pick up driftwood, a must for interior decoration in the Arcachonnais style!
Quiet walk in the forest
At this time, the leaves have fallen in the fall, and only the conifers proudly resist the cool winds.
This setting is perfect for a good walk in the forest, picking up pine cones, or simply enjoying this natural setting in the winter calm.
Read a book, accompanied by a good hot chocolate
The pleasure of choosing a good book, before heading to a café or a brasserie to devour it while warm. The little extra pleasure? That of a hot chocolate or a Viennese coffee and some delicacies, and you have all the ingredients for a successful winter day!
Cinema / Theater
All year round and even more so in winter, book your place for the show of the moment or the latest film showing in one of our cinemas.
Concert, theatre, dance, opera… All around the Arcachon Bassin, a beautiful programming waiting for you ! Consult the agenda of the Bassin of Arcachon.
Walk in a barge, in a pinnace…
If you do not yet know the colors of the Bassin in winter, start with a traditional boat ride. Once on the water, the vastness of the place and the feeling of being alone in the world are incredible. You will certainly come across oyster farmers working in the ports, birds resting on the gables or the roofs of the cabins… Take out the camera to immortalize the moment, with the winter colors of the Bassin in the background.
A desire to breathe the iodized air of the Bassin?
Hike on the Dune du Pilat
For a magical view of the Bassin in winter, head for the Dune du Pilat. The stairs will no longer be there to help you, but it will be an opportunity for a sporty climb before reaching the top. Take advantage of this calm period to walk on the crest of the Dune and go down to its foot, on the beach. Venture as far as you can, the scenery is well worth it.
Celebrate Christmas early
Before celebrating Christmas with the family, what if you decide to get a little ahead?
Go and buy a few oysters, and reserve one bed and breakfast or a cottage to spend a good weekend with family or friends!
A session of ice skating
From December, ice rinks are set up in Arcachon and the village of Lège to the delight of children and parents!
It is also possible to see Father Christmas, who comes a little early to take pictures with the children.
In Arcachon, he even arrives by boat on Saturday December 12!
Do the Christmas shopping
Head to the shops of Arcachon, Andernos-les-Bains or Lège-Cap Ferret for the latest Christmas shopping!
This will be an opportunity to combine business with pleasure, by taking a walk on the piers after your well-deserved shopping session.
A shopping spree during the sales
After Christmas, there is another appointment that should not be missed: the sales! In Arcachon, but also in the decoration shops in Grand Piquey, or even in the pretty flea markets and shops of the Bassin as in Andernos.
Take advantage of a whole day to alternate between shopping, a hot chocolate break in a café or a walk in a village.
